#57 – Nea: “I am a fan of Wishes and Dishes on Facebook.”

Congratulations, Nea! Thank you to everyone who entered.

My husband is the biggest fan of breakfast food that I’ve ever met in my life. He never gets sick of it, any day, any TIME of the day. So needless to say, he was really happy when I whipped him up these pancakes (I literally just realized I forgot to make him scrambled eggs to go with them). In my defense, Friday was one of those rare days where I spend many, many hours on making food for my blog…I seriously had about 3 or 4 different projects going on all at once. Cupcakes, pancakes, lemon cookies, etc…..it was all happening on Friday afternoon. Try to imagine what my kitchen looked like! THAT was a fun mess to clean up. Confession: there’s still some dirty pans “soaking” and just waiting for me.

For healthy whole grains, you just can’t beat Bob’s Red Mill. Once again, the very generous people over at Bob’s Red Mill sent me an abundance of their delicious and healthy hot cereals to try out and review for all of you lovely readers.

This is a super easy Banana Walnut Pancakes recipe! It contains whole wheat farina and makes for the perfect healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

½ cup Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Farina

½ cup White Flour

2 Tbsp Sugar

1 Tbsp Baking Powder

1 cup Milk

1 large Egg

2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1 ripe medium Banana, mashed

¼ cup diced walnuts

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine cereal, flour, sugar and baking powder; set aside.

In a small bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter and mashed banana.

Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just blended. (Batter will be slightly lumpy).

Let stand 10 minutes then stir in walnuts.

Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.

Pour scant ⅓-cup batter onto the griddle or skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the top, about 3 – 5 minutes, then flip and cook until done, about another 5 minutes.

Serve immediately, topped with sliced bananas and maple syrup.

Here are some other simple ways to enjoy their hot cereals and to make them even tastier:

Add a spoonful of any nut butter or an egg to your cereal to boost flavor and protein and give you a good start to your day and keep your stomach satisfied until lunchtime!

Add flaxseed meal, chia seed, hemp seed or pumpkin seed to increase your fiber and omega-3 intake which is good for your heart!

Add fresh, frozen or dried fruit to give these hot cereals a good flavor boost as well as adding vitamins and antioxidants.

Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to your bowl of cereal for a big flavor boost. I love adding cinnamon to hot drinks and hot cereal!

Ashley, I can totally relate to the kitchen disaster phenemona. You know how it goes when you are creating something you need to try it many ways and lots of tests and yes lots and lots of dirty dishes. However, these delicious and healthy pancakes only need one pan and one dish so I am all about that. I buy Bob’s Red Mill products all the time in Hong Kong.

Hi there, just saw your Instagram account, your pics are lovely and you are beautiful! I´ve wanted to get an account for a while now so perhaps today would be the day 🙂 These pancakes look healthy and yummy!! Xx

Your husband is a lucky recipient to all your hard work in the kitchen! : ) Great looking pancakes. And I love Bob’s Red Mill products. My favorite hot cereal is steel cut oatmeal. I also have Bob’s Red Mill’s 7-grain hot cereal and that is just delicious.

Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day. Like your husband I can eat it for any meal. My favorite cereal that I have every morning is oatmeal sprinkled with plain cinnamon and blueberries. It carries me over to lunch.

Would you believe I’ve never tried any products from Bob’s Red Mill? I’ve seen them in several local stores too! My favorite cereal . . . well, I’m currently averaging about two bowls of any cereal every day because it’s an out of control craving haha, but I love plain old Special K with fresh berries.

Bob’s Red Mill is a 5-minute drive from my work. Whenever we get a “Teacher Work Day”, we all go there for lunch. It’s delicious, and the shopping opportunities (“shopportunities” as my friend Matt calls them) are fantastic! YUM! I’ll have to try some of the products you featured.

My husband is the same way… he gets so excited when I whip up breakfast for dinner! Loving these pancakes! Also, what a great giveaway! I’d have to say my most favorite cold cereal is the plain jane, Cheerios. Love it as my night time snack… hehe!
